METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR ADHERING TO TOOTH STRUCTURE

摘要

A composition and method of treating a dental tooth surface and adhering a restorative material to the treated dental tooth surface is provided. A liquid composition is applied to at least the portion of the tooth to form a treated surface. The composition includes at least 50 percent by weight of a volatile organic solvent, at least 15 percent by weight of one or more polymerizable acrylate compounds and an effective amount of a photoinitiator. At least a portion of the polymerizable compounds are multifunctional polymerizable compounds having at least three acrylate moieties. The polymerizable compounds are substantially soluble in the solvent The composition is adapted to form a polymeric material which is adapted to adhere to dentin with a bond strength of at least 12 Mpa. Restorative material is then adhered to the treated surface with a bond strength of at least about 12 MPa.
